Hi

Our next release and our first figure.

GMF120/01 Major General Charles Napier KCB, India 1843

Scale 120mm resin

Superbly sculpted by Mike Good and being painted as I write this by Ernesto, maybe he will let you have a sneak peak at his progress.

The kit is limited to 100 kits and doesn't come with a base.

Available now from www.grenadierminiatures.co.uk

All comments welcome

Don't know about John Lennon but a definite affinity to Captain Nemo don't you think Could fit with the new kit of the nautilus coming soon....

Nice to see the Old Indian and British Army in India getting some attention, it`s a wonderful period, both uniforms and history.

I too wonder how the glasses are produced in the kits ?

Wow...many thanks for all the orders, i have just been the post office so they are on their way to you all.

Thanks for the great comments....the figure really is a beauty and just goes together like a dream...its a piece of cake and down to the skill of mike good. My job in moulding it was easy.

There are 2 sets of glasses in the kit...solid resin and a clear set. Be carefull they are fragile you will just need to add the arms from very fine wire or stretched sprue or even a thick piece of hair i suppose.

The victorian era and its empire esp india and north west frontier is firmly on my radar so there will be more.

Many thanks again

Fair play for going a little of the beaten track.
Something a little different, and very well done,

I just ordered one. It's such an interesting looking figure. I don't know a thing about the historical person or period but I agree with lolok .... Captain Nemo or some other Jules Verne character comes to mind for me.

I just ordered mine too. Love the charactor and "look", and sculpting is just superb.

 

[gothicgeek]

I put the black and white version together for the initial
box art on this piece and it was an absolute pleasure to do!

A great sculpt by Mike Good with excellent engineering and
typically neat castings.

I used a bit of stretched sprue on the solid version of the glasses
but any fine wire or plastic would do

Nice figure and great sculpt, and I see something familiar in his look...

 

[RFL]

Looking better all the time. Are the clear glasses pre formed or do they need cutting out from a clear sheet ?
